In the latest catalog, they are selling a refurbished 1945 PT boat.

Notice the shipping weight.

And the price? $1,000,000. One frickin MILLION dollars In a catalog!

Oh and shipping is 6% so the grand total is $1,060,000. It does not mention whether gift wrapping is available.

Who exactly would be looking through the HS catalog and decide impulsively, hey, that looks cool. Only a million, let's order it!

I think that is the most expensive single item HS has ever offered.

I wonder if they will get a buyer?

Been there, done that.

she is the only PT boat in existence licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard for carrying passengers
